Free trees
TO celebrate National Tree Day in 2024, Moyne Shire Council is giving away free trees.
National Tree Day is a great opportunity to maintain and enhance our beautiful environment for local wildlife as well as ensuring the region continues to be a great place to live.
Moyne mayor Cr Ian Smith said council was encouraging residents to get their hands dirty for the environment, and get the benefits that come from spending time outdoors.
“We will have a range of indigenous native trees available, including species such as Red Flowering Gum and Broadleaf Hop Bush,” Cr Smith said.
“We invite people to come and pick up their free tree at one of our community information sessions across the shire.”
The sessions will be held at various locations and times, including at the Garvoc playground today, Friday July 26 between 10am and 11am.
“The info sessions are also an opportunity to talk to our environment team about environmental management in Moyne, and our Waste Education Officer about how council handles household waste,” Cr Smith said
“Residents can also have a chat with our emergency management officer about vegetation management around the home and general fire safety.”
